  I remember my dad buying this from the bootleg man at a flea market. Shoutout to the bootleg men and women of the 90’s and 00’s

  In the book, the character&apos;s name is Lucas Corso. If you look at the cards in the film, one set seems to illustrate the fates of the ancillary &nbsp;characters; you could see Balkan, Kessler, Telfer, etc. in the AT engravings. However, the LCF engravings seem to tell Corso&apos;s story.... Lucas Corso&apos;s Fate [LCF].

  Something else to note, the Ceniza brothers, Pablo and Pedro, are Paul and Peter in English - considered two of the most significant Apostles. Peter traditionally holds the keys of the gates of Heaven.

  Many occult initations reveal that the goal you are looking for has been there all along but you&apos;ve been too blind to see it. Green Eyes being the Devil or Devil-adjacent entity but no one can see it unless properly initiated would fit that pattern. The treasure really was the friend we met along the way. :)

  Keys in left hand because he has to take the so called, &quot;Left Hand Path&quot;.

  If you look, the keys in his hand are crossed. Crossed keys symbolize the union of opposing forces, supreme spiritual and temporal authority, and the unlocking of hidden esoteric knowledge. They also represent liminal access, across magic and folklore, possessing a key—or crossed keys—grants the bearer passage across sacred thresholds, deep into the mysteries of the unseen world. The fact that it is in his left hand shows that behind the door are secrets and a doorway down the left hand path (LHP), which is typically associated with demonic or goetic magic and revelation.

  One of my favorite movies, end up watching it every time its on tv. &nbsp;I love the euro flavor, and the bibliophilia

  I kind of always thought Green Eyes was the literal Gate. And the act of sex was symbolic of a key entering a lock and unlocking the final gate. But maybe I was just crazy.
